Abstract

This article provides a comprehensive assessment of the natural resource potential of the Krasnoyarsk Territory, the Republics of Khakassia and Tuva as part of implementing the «Yenisei Siberia» project. In the introductory section of the article, the authors set out the goals and objectives of the study of the quantitative and qualitative characteristics of the socio-economic potential of the Krasnoyarsk Territory, Republic of Khakassia, Republic of Tuva and examine the role of implementing particularly important Yenisei Siberia investment projects in the economic development of the territories. The body of the article starts with the overall review in the form of economic and statistical analysis of the socio-economic conditions in the regions examined. It is followed by an attempt at a statistical measurement of the influence of particularly important investment projects («Southern Cluster», «Construction of the railway Elegest - Kyzyl - Kuragino», «Construction of the timber processing complex in the Boguchansky district of the Krasnoyarsk Territory» and «Agro-industrial Park «Siberia») on a summarizing indicator of the economic activity of the regions - gross regional product (GRP). The investment projects were examined using open data sources and official statistical information. By comparing the available information from various sources, the authors assessed the adequacy of the obtained results to the current situation and challenges of the new economy.
